Most people just sing the chorus to this music hall sing along song as
the verses are mostly half sung/half spoken or not used at all!
I have tabbed the verses from various sources so any improvements welcome.
Intro = C Em Am G D
Verse 1
D G Am I've just been lingering all alone C D Down Paradise Row G Am D When I was a kiddy I'd a sweetheart C D Down there we would go Em D I'd call her Nelly and she'd call me Joe Am Em D And we would romp there hand in hand Em Am Em D Then we'd both sit down on a doorstep there A D And we'd picture the future grand
Chorus
C D G On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row D G I'd sit along o' Nelly she'd sit along o' Joe Em She'd got a little hole in her frock Bm C G Hole in her shoe hole in her sock where her toe peeped through A D But Nelly was the smartest down our alley C D G On Mother Kelly's doorstep I'm wondering now D G If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe her beau Em D And does she love me like she used to C D G On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row
Verse 2
D G Am The cobblestones were a meadow sweet C D To Nelly and me G Am D The smoky chimney on the housetop C D Was a beautiful tree Em D And old Brown's donkey was a big baa lamb Am Em D And Mother Kelly in the house Em Am Em D On a wash day holding her pail A D Was Mary the milkmaid milking cows
Chorus
C D G On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row D G I'd sit along o' Nelly she'd sit along o' Joe Em She'd got a little hole in her frock Bm C G Hole in her shoe hole in her sock where her toe peeped through A D But Nelly was the smartest down our alley C D G On Mother Kelly's doorstep I'm wondering now D G If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe her beau Em D And does she love me like she used to C D G On Mother Kelly's doorstep down Paradise Row
